GONZALEZ-GARCIA, R.; NAVAS-GIAS, L.; RODRIGUEZ-CAMPO, F.J. e SASTRE-PEREZ, J.. Forehead flap: A simple method for the reconstruction of extensive nasal skin defects. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.1, pp.32-38. ISSN 2173-9161.
The use of the forehead flap in the surgery of nasal defects is noteworthy because almost all of the nasal subunits, including the nasal vestibule, alar margin, and columella nasi can be reconstructed satisfactorily. The cutting technique is simple and there are few donor zone complications. The color of the skin, its texture, and the feasibility of obtaining a large amount of tissue, with or without previous tissue expansion, make forehead flaps the technique of choice in the reconstruction of extensive nasal skin defects. We report our recent experience with this flap and we review the current state-of-the-art in the use of this flap.
